While watching this movie the other night I had no idea it was directed by the guy who directed 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar'...

... tbh, I didn't really like either of those movies so it was probably for the best that I didn't make that connection.

For me, what drew me to this movie was Joaquin Phoenix and the psychosis that his main character seems to suffer from. And in this regard, this movie does not disappoint!

Ultimately, one of the reasons why I really liked this movie (aside from the fact from it being a VERY dark comedy at times) is because our understanding of what transpires during the course of the film is mostly up to individual interpretation.

Going back to the point that I made about it being a dark comedy up above, I thought the movie was quite funny at unsuspecting moments... and that really added to my enjoyment of this movie.

Final rating: I would watch it again! 👍

I just watched the movie and despite the film looking like it may have been shot at the end of the previous decade, the film has some pretty impressive practical effects and some decent acting to boot.

I was very scared of Chucky (the doll character) when I was a little kid after seeing clips from the movie as a child. What was terrible is my mom collected dolls, so I had trouble sleeping as a child because of this movie and the Puppet Master movie(s).

For the record, this is the ONLY "Chucky" movie that I have seen so far... that said, I am planning on watching as many as I can on Netflix before they leave the platform at the end of the month.

The that thing that I will say is that I was split between giving this movie a 5/10 vs a 6/10, I ultimately decide to give it a 6/10 because it came out such a long time ago.

Let me preface this by saying that I am currently at the very end of season 5 and I should be finishing the show soon.

Season 1 was pretty good. A few of the actors on the show really carry the show while some others really drag the show down. However, as the show progresses the writing just gets worse and worse. I would say the show pretty steadily becomes worse and worse by each season/episode, and eventually you land in Season 5 - which, IMHO, is just awful. (It honestly feels like there are no writers in season 5... therefore...)

I'm wondering if one of the reasons why this show got so bad was because it was affected by the writer's strike in Hollywood.

Regardless, I expect much better from HBO than this. Not happy to have wasted my time with anything past season 2 really... and I didn't even think season 2 was all that good.
